Microbiome and metagenomic analysis of Lake Hillier Australia reveals pigment-rich polyextremophiles and wide-ranging metabolic adaptations [PDF]

Environmental Microbiomes, 2022
Lake Hillier is a hypersaline lake known for its distinctive bright pink color. The cause of this phenomenon in other hypersaline sites has been attributed to halophiles, Dunaliella, and Salinibacter, however, a systematic analysis of the microbial ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes [PDF]

FEBS Letters
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Yeasts Inhabiting Extreme Environments and Their Biotechnological Applications [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
Yeasts are microscopic fungi inhabiting all Earth environments, including those inhospitable for most life forms, considered extreme environments. According to their habitats, yeasts could be extremotolerant or extremophiles.

Polyextremophiles: Summary and Conclusions

Cellular Origin and Life in Extreme Habitats, 2013
The search for extraterrestrial life is encouraged by a comparison between organisms living in severe environmental conditions on Earth and the physical and chemical conditions that exist on some Solar System bodies. Astrobiology raises the possibility of life elsewhere in the Solar System (cf., the chapter by Joseph Seckbach – “Life on the Edge and ...

Polyextremophiles and the Constraints for Terrestrial Habitability

Cellular Origin and Life in Extreme Habitats, 2013
Life on Earth occupies a multidimensional niche space that has yet to be fully described. The niche space of terrestrial life is knowable, and thus, it guides the search for hypothesized life. Since terrestrial life is constrained by its organic carbon foundation and requirement for water as a solvent, extremes in such environmental parameters as ...
